Canonical Faces Pro-Iran DDoS Attack, Disrupting Ubuntu Services
Canonical, the company behind the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu, is currently experiencing a sustained Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The attack has been claimed by a pro-Iran hacktivist group known as the Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq, or 313 Team. This group has targeted Canonical's web infrastructure, causing significant disruptions to Ubuntu's main website and several subdomains. The attack began on Thursday evening and has persisted for over 12 hours, affecting users' ability to download Ubuntu distributions and access their Canonical accounts. The 313 Team has issued a message suggesting a shift from hacktivism to extortion, indicating that they have contacted Canonical with demands. Canonical has acknowledged the attack and is working to restore full service availability, promising updates through official channels.
